Philadelphia, August 4.
A SONG.
"Address'd to the Sons of Liberty, on the continent of
America, particularly to the illustrious, glorious and never
to be forgotten ninety-two of Boston.
:The Americans are the Sons, not the bastards of England;
the Commons of America, represented in their several
assemblies, have ever been in possession of the exercise of
this their constitutional right, of giving and granting
their own money; the would have been slaves, if they had not
enjoyed it." Mr. Pitt's Speech.
Tune "Come jolly Bacchus" &c. or "Glorious first of August."
Come jolly sons of Liberty--
Come all with hearts united,
Our Motto is"We dare be free"
Not easily affrighted!
. . . [52 more lines; signed:] A Son of Liberty.
